Septic pulmonary emboli. A rare cause of bilateral pneumothorax in drug abusers.

J M Aguado1, R Arjona, P Ugarte.   

Abstract

An intravenous drug abuser presented with bilateral pneumothorax. This is a previously unreported (to our knowledge) complication of septic pulmonary emboli secondary to right-sided endocarditis. This possibility must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pneumothorax in drug addicts.
